Peel was just as funny. You could see the gears spinning in her head while she did the math on how that happened. There was a little smoke coming out of her ears.

I started complaining about the noise at about 3:00 minutes to pump shutdown, and I actually was pretty careful to just follow the second hand on my watch with peripheral vision, so it took her a little bit to figure it out. But she’s a smart cookie.

What made it work is that I had this brand new watch that I was quite enamored with. It is accurate to the second. I keep it synched with NIST atomic clock time. It was pure happenstance that I had previously noticed the exact second when the puking lion pump shuts off.
